manipulated to load a round in the chamber. In emergency circumstances, this can be difficult to do safely

do you know you may be going into a more dangerous situation? That depends. If, for example, you carry
cash to deposit after a business closing, this may well qualify. If a domestic partner is actively threatening
you, this may qualify as well.
“Safe Carry Condition” is a judgment call and must be made by the user. Some users routinely face greater
threats than others. Users must be aware of their situation and circumstances. Errors in judgment can have
dire and tragic outcomes if firearms are present.
FIREARMS STORAGE AND GUN LOCKS
How you secure your firearms is a personal choice based on the unique circumstances in your home,
business or vehicle and the laws of the state where your firearm is located. Any choice you make
about securing your firearms will present advantages and disadvantages. It is up to you to weigh those
advantages and disadvantages and choose which security method is best for you and those around you.
WARNING - LOCKING
Never lock a firearm with a round of ammunition in the chamber. Unlocking a loaded firearm makes it more
difficult to maintain trigger discipline and to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
WARNING
Securing your firearm may inhibit access in a defensive situation and may result in injury or death.
WARNING
Failure to secure a firearm may result in injury or death. Properly securing a firearm means storing your
firearm unloaded, decocked and securely locked, with all ammunition in a separate location.

WARNING - ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED

NOTICE
If dropped or struck, the pistol may fire.
Even if your Taurus® firearm is rated for Plus-P (“+P”) ammunition, such ammunition generates pressures
significantly in excess of the pressures associated with standard ammunition. Such pressures may affect
the useful life of the firearm or exceed the margin of safety built into many firearms. Unless you need +P
ammunition, do not use it, particularly for practice.
WARNING
If dropped or struck the firearm should be inspected by a trained armorer/gunsmith for a complete function
check. After the firearm was dropped or struck, mechanisms, including automatic safeties, may not function
as intended resulting in accidental death or serious injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3. Hold the pistol with one hand keeping your finger away from the
trigger and on the memory pad. With the other hand pull the slide
to its limit and release it, the slide will go forward under recoil
NOTICE spring pressure and will insert one cartridge into the chamber.
The Taurus G3 & G3c has a striker firing mechanism. It normally operates as a conventional Single Action
system, e.g., every time the slide cycles it pre-cocks the striker/firing pin.
In case of a misfire, i.e., the cartridge primer is hit by the firing pin but the round does not fire, this
pistol provides a mechanism that automatically changes the firing system from single action into
double action (DA).This allows you to pull the trigger again without the need to cycle the slide.

4. The pistol is now ready-to-fire by pulling the trigger.

1. To remove the magazine press the magazine release button,
located near the trigger guard, with your thumb. After firing, the slide will recoil from gas pressure, ejecting
the empty case and feeding another cartridge into the chamber
from the magazine. The pistol is now ready to fire again.

6. If you want to stop shooting before firing the last cartridge of a
magazine, push the safety lever in the up (on) position. WARNING - FIRING
The slide opens and shuts quickly while firing. Keep your face and hands away from rear of slide. Hot brass
is ejected quickly and can burn you. Always wear shooting glasses, hat with brim, and hearing protection.

These Taurus pistols do not have a magazine disconnect (safety). WARNING - ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
They are capable of firing with the magazine removed.
If dropped or struck, the pistol may fire.
WARNING
The manual safety lever must be fully engaged for the Manual Safety to work.
WARNING
The firearm should never be operated with the manual safety lever between the "on" and "off" positions.
Failure to make certain the manual safety lever is all the way "on" can result in accident, serious bodily
injury or even death.

To keep a firearm safe and in good working
condition, it must be kept clean and covered
with a light film of good quality gun oil to prevent
corrosion. The barrel bore should be cleaned and left free of debris. Follow these steps:
• Remove excessive firing residue from the bore and chamber using a properly fitted brass brush
dipped in a gun cleaning solvent. Finish the bore cleaning process by running a dry cotton cloth
patch through the bore to remove remaining residue and solvent.
• Clean the exterior of the firearm, slide and rails using a non abrasive cleaning cloth. Remove dust
and residue from small crevices using a small brush.
• Lubricate the frame rails and barrel lockup points
• After cleaning, rub the pistol with a lightly oiled cloth.
Please note that a firearm with laser should not be cleaned in a well or supersonic machine that
submerges the firearm as this can damage the laser system.
